school supplies during the summer?!

 I know it's summer and all, but let me bring you back into school mode for a little bit. As I may have mentioned before, I am collecting ministry supplies to take over with me to Rwanda and the majority of these are school supplies! As you know, I will be working with a street boys tutoring program and unfortunately school supplies are not easy to come by in Rwanda. My soon-to-be partner in crime, Marie, has sent me a list of things that we'll need/are running low on that will help us to teach and better work with the boys. Supporting me through finances might be difficult for some of you, so this is another way you can help!

~Crayons

~Pens (these tend to get "lost" fairly easily and the ones in Rwanda leak)

~Pencil sharpeners

~Colored paper

~Band-aids (please please please)

~Spray-on bactine/antiseptic wipes

~White board markers and erasers

~Playing cards (used for math activities)

~Glue sticks

~Notebooks

~Red pens

~Highlighters

~Boys clothing

~Classroom decorations/posters (ex. parts of speech, time tables, etc.)

~Hard candy (good to use as incentives)

~Craft/art stuff (I'm not too artsy, so if anyone has any simple craft ideas let me know!)

~Kleenex packs

If you would like to help by donating any of these items please let me know! I will be sending a bag ahead of me to Rwanda on July 26th, so please have the item(s) to me by July 22nd. When you have an item ready, please let me know and I can pick it up from you. Thank you for your willingness to help! The boys are grateful for it as well!
